The deadline for entries for the Media Innovations Awards 2010 has been extended by one week.

The organisers of the Awards have extended the deadline to Friday 15th January due to concerns that the snowy conditions over the past few days have made it difficult for many people to get to work and for businesses to function, including the postal service. The deadline has been extended by a week to give everyone a chance to complete their entries and to ensure that all entry material and entry fees are received.

Karen Stockdale of the Media Innovation Awards said, “We would like to thank everyone who has already entered the Media Innovation Awards. The Awards attract some of the finest work in the region and we don’t want anyone to miss out on the chance of some well-earned publicity.”

This year there are 18 award categories and each entrant can submit up to 5 entries. The categories are as follows:

Television project
